On the Impossibility of Unconditionally Secure Quantum Bit Commitment
Dominic Mayers veröffentlichte 1997 ein Unmöglichkeitstheorem, in welchem er zeigte, dass es
keine quantenkryptographische bit-commitment Verfahren gibt, die uneingeschränkt sicher sind.
Der begleitende Beweis lässt allerdings einige Details aus und ist somit schwer nachzuvollziehen.
In dieser Bachelorarbeit werden also zunächst die Grundlagen vorgestellt, die notwendig sind um
dem Beweis zu folgen. Dann wird der Beweis schrittweise in einer Form, der besser zu folgen ist,
dargelegt und fehlende Details ergänzt. Des Weiteren wird der Beweis mit Beispielen illustriert,
und der Beweis ins Verhältnis zu späteren Ergebnissen gesetzt. Darüber hinaus werden gängige
Quanten-Bit-Commitment-Verfahren, die nicht unter das Unmöglichkeitstheorem fallen, erarbeitet.
Diese Verfahren und Herangehensweisen, solche Verfahren zu konstruieren, werden miteinander
verglichen, klassifiziert und begutachtet
Wind Field Reconstruction from Nacelle-Mounted Lidars Short Range Measurements
Profiling nacelle lidars probe the wind at several heights and several
distances upstream of the rotor. The development of such lidar systems is
relatively recent, and it is still unclear how to condense the lidar raw
measurements into useful wind field characteristics such as speed, direction,
vertical and longitudinal gradients (wind shear). In this paper, we
demonstrate an innovative method to estimate wind field characteristics using
nacelle lidar measurements taken within the induction zone. Model-fitting
wind field reconstruction techniques are applied to nacelle lidar
measurements taken at multiple distances close to the rotor, where a wind
model is combined with a simple induction model. The method allows robust
determination of free-stream wind characteristics. The method was applied to
experimental data obtained with two different types of nacelle lidar
(five-beam Demonstrator and ZephIR Dual Mode). The reconstructed wind speed
was within 0.5 % of the wind speed measured with a mast-top-mounted cup
anemometer at 2.5 rotor diameters upstream of the turbine. The technique
described in this paper overcomes measurement range limitations of the
currently available nacelle lidar technology
Correlation-model of rotor-effective wind shears and wind speed for lidar-based individual pitch control
In this work the spectra based model of the correlation between lidar systems and wind turbines is extended from rotor-effective wind speed only, to rotor-effective wind speed and linear horizontal and vertical shear components. This is achieved by the incorporation of a model based wind field reconstruction method solving a set of linear equations with the least-squares method. The model allows to optimize a lidar system’s measurement configuration for a specific wind turbine a-priori by means of direct and fast spectra calculations. Furthermore, it allows to assess the filter parameters to be expected and needed for the application of lidar-assisted control. By extending the model to rotor-effective linear shears, the results can be used for lidar-assisted individual pitch control
Realistic simulations of extreme load cases with lidar-based feedforward control
This work presents the development of a simulation environment which allows to simulate realistic extreme events with lidar-based feedforward control. This environment includes turbulent wind fields including extreme events, wind evolution and wind field scanning with a nacelle-based lidar system. It is designed to simulate lidar-based controllers in a realistic environment. In addition, a controller extension is proposed to identify and mitigate extreme events in wind fields based on lidar measurements. The combination of this extreme event controller with the realistic simulation environment is a promising tool for load reductions in wind turbines
Model based wind vector field reconstruction from lidar data
In recent years lidar technology found its way into wind energy for resource assessment and control. For both fields of application it is crucial to reconstruct the wind field from the limited information provided by a lidar system. For lidar assisted wind turbine control model based wind field reconstruction is used to obtain signals from wind characteristics such as wind speed, direction and shears in a high temporal resolution. This work shows how these methods can be used for lidar based wind resource assessment in complex situations, where high accuracy is important, but cannot be archived by conventional technique. The reconstruction is validated for ground based lidar systems with measurement data and for floating lidar systems with detailed simulations
Field testing of feedforward collective pitch control on the CART2 using a nacelle-based lidar scanner
This work presents the first results from a field test to proof the concept of LIDAR assisted collective pitch control using a scanning LIDAR device installed on the nacelle of a research turbine. The purpose of the campaign was to show that a reduction of rotor speed variation is feasible with a feedforward update without changing the feedback controller. Although only a small amount of data could be collected, positive effects can be observed not only on the rotor speed but also on tower, blade and shaft loads in the case that the correlation of the wind preview and the turbine reaction is taken into account
Direct speed control using LIDAR and turbine data
LIDAR systems are able to provide preview information of the wind speed in front of wind turbines. One proposed use of this information is to increase the energy capture of the turbine by adjusting the rotor speed directly to maintain operation at the optimal tip-speed ratio, a technique referred to as Direct Speed Control (DSC). Previous work has indicated that for large turbines the marginal benefit of the direct speed controller in terms of increased power does not compensate for the increase of the shaft loads. However, the technique has not yet been adequately tested to make this determination conclusively. Further, it is possible that applying DSC to smaller turbines could be worthwhile because of the higher rotor speed fluctuations and the small rotor inertia. This paper extends the previous work on direct speed controllers.
A DSC is developed for a 600 kW experimental turbine and is evaluated theoretically and in simulation. Because the actual turbine has a mounted LIDAR, data collected from the turbine and LIDAR during operation are used to perform a hybrid simulation. This technique allows a realistic simulation to be performed, which provides good agreement with theoretical predictions
An adaptive data processing technique for lidar-assisted control to bridge the gap between lidar systems and wind turbines
This paper presents first steps toward an adaptive lidar data processing technique crucial for lidar-assisted control in wind turbines. The prediction time and the quality of the wind preview from lidar measurements depend on several factors and are not constant. If the data processing is not continually adjusted, the benefit of lidar-assisted control cannot be fully exploited or can even result in harmful control action. An online analysis of the lidar and turbine data is necessary to continually reassess the prediction time and lidar data quality.
In this work, a structured process to develop an analysis tool for the prediction time and a new hardware setup for lidar-assisted control are presented. The tool consists of an online estimation of the rotor effective wind speed from lidar and turbine data and the implementation of an online cross-correlation to determine the time shift between both signals. Further, we present initial results from an ongoing campaign in which this system was employed for providing lidar preview for feedforward pitch control
Analysis of control-oriented wake modeling tools using lidar field results
The objective of this paper is to compare field data from a
scanning lidar mounted on a turbine to control-oriented wind turbine wake
models. The measurements were taken from the turbine nacelle looking
downstream at the turbine wake. This field campaign was used to validate
control-oriented tools used for wind plant control and optimization. The
National Wind Technology Center in Golden, CO, conducted a demonstration of
wake steering on a utility-scale turbine. In this campaign, the turbine was
operated at various yaw misalignment set points, while a lidar mounted on the
nacelle scanned five downstream distances. Primarily, this paper examines
measurements taken at 2.35 diameters downstream of the turbine. The lidar
measurements were combined with turbine data and measurements of the
inflow made by a highly instrumented meteorological mast on-site. This paper
presents a quantitative analysis of the lidar data compared to the
control-oriented wake models used under different atmospheric conditions and
turbine operation. These results show that good agreement is obtained between the
lidar data and the models under these different conditions.</p
